1. A portable device comprising:
a housing including a first portion and a second portion;
a hinge to couple the first portion of the housing to the second portion of the housing, the first portion including a first proximal edge adjacent the hinge and a first distal edge opposite the first proximal edge, the second portion including a second proximal edge adjacent the hinge and a second distal edge opposite the second proximal edge, the hinge to enable the housing to be folded into a closed position in which the first and second distal edges are adjacent one another and to enable the housing to be opened to an open position in which the first and second distal edges are spaced apart;
a microphone;
a speaker;
a first camera on a first side of the housing to face a first direction;
a second camera on a second side of the housing to face a second direction, the second side of the housing opposite the first side of the housing, the second direction opposite the first direction;
communications circuitry;
memory;
processor circuitry;
a first display carried by the housing; and
a second display distinct from the first display, the second display carried by the second portion of the housing, the second display is touch sensitive, the second display visible when the housing is in the closed position, the second display defined by a top edge, a bottom edge, and two lateral edges, the top and bottom edges longer than the two lateral edges, both the top and bottom edges of the second display closer to the second distal edge of the second portion than the top and bottom edges are to the second proximal edge of the second portion, the second camera adjacent the second display when the housing is in the closed position, and the second camera closer to the second distal edge of the second portion than the second camera is to the second proximal edge of the second portion when the housing is in the closed position.
